Hello Crew! My name is Laura Ballard, and I am the kindergarten & first grade mild moderate needs learning specialist for the 2025/2026 school year. I have worked in Douglas County for over 18 years, and many of those years have been at Pine Lane. I am very excited to work with students in these grades on their educational journey! I love finding engaging ways to learn and also love watching my students see their hard work pay off, while gaining a love for learning.
Some fun facts about me are:
I have 5 children
3 of our children are Chaparral graduates; we also have 9th-grade identical twin girls
We live out on land and have 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 lizards, 1 fish, and 40 chickens!
I have lived in Parker since 1982 and went to kindergarten through sixth grade at Pine Lane
I love to go camping in the Summer and Fall
We are going to have a great year!
Mrs. Ballard
